With FOCUS ACADEMY, the PREVIEW BERLIN has been turning to art universities since 2009 in a new format. In 2012, the graduates of eight German art academies will participate. The intention is to offer these artists the opportunity to show their work to a large art community at the moment of transition from university studies to artistic independence, allowing them to gain initial experience on the art market.

PREVIEW BERLIN ART FAIR 2012 includes works by students of the University of Arts Berlin (UdK), the Muthesius Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Kiel, the University of Art and Design Offenbach, Berlin Weißensee School of Art and Design Kassel and the Academy of Fine Arts in Nuremberg.
